Colourful M&Ms in Brigth and Bold at About a Girl

Hello everyone, I hope you all have been able to enjoy 

the pleasure of scrapbooking as much as you like lately.

 I do appologize for my absence over the last couple of days

not visiting and commenting as much as I wanted, 

but I  went away for a couple of days to explore a bit more of 

the Cornish coastline southwest in England, which has very bad 

mobile signals and internet conections. Even after paying for the use 

of  WiFi in the hotel it took for ever and ever so I gave up :P

So here is a late post of a LO I made for my guest apperance for

 June 15th-Use Bold Colors and Patterns

over at About a Girl, I now wish I had pre-posted :P

 

 All papers are AC Amy Tangerine Sketchbook and

The  photo  is taken with the M&Ms in a bowl on a mirror 

It is idnight and the oon  is up

and there are no more M&M left....  ;)

...so if you like colourful and bold patters on your LO

pop over to About a Girl and join in on this fun challenge

Thanks for taking time to stop by,it is very much appreciated:)

About a Girl

It is funny how some challenges are easier than others.

May 1st, the first challenge over at 

About a Girl

was to make a LO of own choice with the only criteria

to include the name on the page.

I couldn't make my mind up which photo to use but finaly

I chose a photo from some years back when on holiday

in Switzerland in the spring half term.

We had found some tadpoles and she loved catching them, but 

we let them all go back in to their pond by the end of the day.

I started this LO when I was in Norway about a week ago, 

but didn't have time to finish it so i have done that 

over the weekend

I wrote her name on the tag, underlined with white marker,

which can be pulled out from behind the photo.

Sorry if you can't read what's on the tag is written in Norwegian

Some close ups  below

I used some old papers  I have in a box in Norway, 

some from October Afternoon and Laura Ashley.

Most of the flowers are from Prima

TH film strip,

  washi tape

different bits and bobs 

 Thanks for stoping by, if you leave a comment

it is very much appreciated

Bursting at the Seams

Hi there,  and I hope you all are well:)
For all of you back home in Norway,

I hope you had a fantastic 17. MAI :)

I spent the day watching it on TV at home,  through the internet,

to get a homely feeling of Norways contitution day

...and a bit of scrapping in between ofcourse ;)

 It is May 15th callenge, Bursting at the Seams,
over at About a Girl making a Sunburst.
Here is a tutorial from their blog how to make one.
This is my LO making a Sunburst

I made it on white card stock with Dylusion spray ( I love those
 colours but the yellow isn't bright enough), for the
yellow I used Glimmermist. It was cut with pattern
edged scissors and glued  on to black card stock.
Some old colourful tags was up cycled creating a bit of layers.

...some close ups

This is Tirill playing in the snow  in  Lax when we were
there in the winter holiday. The buttons and washi tape are from 
my favourite shop Depot at Tivoli center outside Zurich.

Wish you a Happy Scrappy weekend

Stormy Weather in Cornwall

Only a few days back I thought Spring was here

but now it is absolutely freezing outside.

The good thing is, it is more time to do scrapbooking

when you can't be outside in the cold wind.

There is a new girly blog "on the block "

About a Girl

They will start their first sponsored challenge May 1.

but they have a mini challeng going only this week

So if you have photos of girls in the family, scrapalong

and join in for some girly fun.

Here is my take on the sketch

 Below is he sketch created by Brenshevia

Bg paper is from Panduro and I

 used some stamping but mostly modeling paste on it.

I spread the paste and created foaming waves by dabbing 

crunched alu foil in it

 Here are some  more close ups

I have used 2 normal photos and one fussy cut which I 

placed over the attachment line, right on the top of a stone

I glued on, so it looks like the stones on the photo.

 Shells and stones are all from different beaches in Cornwall

so it is great fun to use them on a LO with photos from there

I made the banneres of paper looking like 

weathered boards  

Other fun elements I used are

Hexagon diecut

washitape

seaside trinkets and bling

Studio Callico rub on Balloon 

cosmic shimmerz

 gauze with glimmer mist

Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment

Happy Scrap every one 

Hope you all had a great weekend :)
